Possible Midlands Run Sunday 2nd June 2013

Postby Paschal » Wed, 29 May 2013 1:21 +0000

Have a bit of cabin fever at the moment! Weather forecast looks okay for the weekend, particularly Sunday. Any interest in a run on Sunday, say Portlaoise 11.00 am.

Ok that's enough for a nice run. Any more takers?

Meet car park Maldron Hotel/Midway Foodcourt Portlaoise (off junction 17 M7 I think) at 11.00 am

I will work out a route in the meantime

See you all there

Had a great run out in the Midlands today. 6 cars, enjoyable company, leisurely stops, good food, good weather, excellent mountain roads and a cultural visit to the Egypt of Offaly.....

Thanks to everyone for making it a successful run

History lesson for those that were in Kinnitty today

The pyramid in Kinnitty is a burial tomb and is located on the foot of Knocknaman at the rear of the Church of Ireland. It was built approx. in the year of 1830 by one of the Bernard family. He was an architect and an engineer who did military service in Egypt. He was probably so impressed and influenced by the huge pyramids he saw there, that he decided to build an exact replica of one of them, at a much smaller scale for a last resting place for the Bernard family. Construction began in 1830 and was completed in 1834.It is about 30Ft in height and is thought to be the only one of its kind in Ireland

Steps lead down about 8 feet below ground level where the coffins were placed. Records show that 6 coffins have being placed there. The first Bernard to be buried there was Richard Bernard sister, aged 24, in the year 1842.The last Bernard to be buried there was in the year of 1907 .
